Weekly Bulletin: 2023-10-18
“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose” (Galatians 2:20–21).
If you haven’t gotten it by now, you should know that Paul’s letter to the churches in Galatia is one of the most significant books in the entire New Testament. In it, Paul lays out all his cards on the table, so to speak, in order to showcase the inflexible truth of the gospel which brings grace and peace to wretched sinners. As he defends and declares the good news of what God has done in and through Christ, he pinpoints what the Christian life is all about — namely, Christ for us and Christ in us.
Be sure to be in your spots this Sunday, October 22 at 10 a.m. as, Lord willing, I will be continuing our series “No Other Gospel” as we look at the Book of Galatians together. Also, don’t forget about our evening worship gathering at 6 p.m. where I will be pressing on in our study of Biblical Theology. Don’t miss out on these great opportunities to worship and fellowship with your church family!
Blessings 🙏 Pastor Brad
